Parmalat Brasil Industria de Alimentos said the job cuts were due to the transfer of milk production from a factory in Goias to two other facilities. The company said the transfer was planned before its Italian parent’s financial crisis, but company sources told Reuters that the move was a result of the current situation at Parmalat.
Parmalat Brasil said earlier this week that it was returning a recently acquired tomato processing plant to Anglo-Dutch consumer products group Unilever.
The company has also stopped production at a cookie plant in Sao Paulo state, reported Reuters.
